I wrote: So you're saying the minimum loft is going to be 48mm based on the handle? That's not going to work

Anyone that ordered have you received a shipment notification yet? Seems like I get better updates ordering through AliExpress and that's not saying much.

I received the brush that I ordered during the sale yesterday. It had nice packaging and is very nice. I think the ST-1 synthetic knot seems almost identical to an STF. I would have them set the loft a little higher if I had it to do over again but it is a great brush.
Did you ever get a shipment email? I checked email inbox and spam folder and nothing. I even installed that SHOP app they use for tracking and nothing showing it was ever shipped.
Just checked order status and it says order # xxxxxxcc is awaiting fulfillment. 2 weeks and it hasn't shipped out yet?

Yes. I ordered on the 19th and got an order shipped email on the 24th. Then I received the brush on 5/8. Shipping took a long time.
I have three orders placed on the 19, 20, and 22; (four handles, 2 knots) none have shipped yet and are still awaiting fulfillment.
Oumo's Kirin knot is made from natural super badger hair. This is a type of unprocessed badger hair that has undergone a selection process to remove as much miscellaneous hair as possible and reduce the prickliness often associated with natural badger hair.
what doe you mean with super?
isn't that just an arbitrary classification? like Simpson has a range it calls super. (and best, silvertip, 2 band and manchurian if i'm not mistaken)
All i see is they the state it is from the Meles Meles (eurasian badger) species. there is not hair classification listed.
most brushes used to be made from natural badger hair. gel tips etc was a bit of a fad imho.

Finally see a shipment notification on the 10th of May. Just shows a label was created but no info or the location of the pckage.
In the context of shaving brushes, "Super Badger" is a grade of badger hair used to create the brush knot (the bristles). It sits in the middle tier of badger hair quality, above "Pure Badger" but below "Silvertip Badger."
Characteristics of Super Badger:
- Softness: Softer and finer tips than Pure Badger, offering a more comfortable and luxurious feel on the skin.
- Backbone: Maintains a good balance between softness and firmness, providing enough backbone to lift and soften beard hairs for a close shave.
- Water Retention: Retains a good amount of water, helping create a rich, creamy lather.
- Appearance: Typically has a two-tone appearance with a light tip and darker band.
- Value: Offers a significant upgrade in softness and performance compared to Pure Badger at a more affordable price than higher grades like Silvertip.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of shavers, offering a balance of comfort, performance, and value.
It's important to note that grading systems for badger hair can vary between manufacturers and vendors. Some may use different terminology or finer distinctions within each grade.
Here are some examples that just arrived today:

Mail Call Number 2. Another purchase off eBay out here in Australia. A Cased Wilkinson Sword single edge razor. It has one blade in it and looks to be pretty much all there. I have several of these razors but I have never used one. I do like the look of them and I may never use it but it looks...

For Simpsons Super is Equal to what other brands call Silvertip aka the top of the Line.
(put aside Manchurian which is only for limited editions)
the Naming scheme is not set in stone there are no rules like with "Parma Ham" and the brushmaker can name something whatever they want.
that is why i was wondering.
Maybe I missed it but I see no Explanation of their grading system on te Oumo site hence why i asked.
This used to be on the simpsons site
this is what TGN said about Their 2 band knots
for shavemac the top tiers were both sivlertip one jsut silvertip and the other silvertip 2 band

Oumo is interesting (to me) as they not only "grade" their knots with common terminology, but also organize them based upon how they are or are not selected and processed (such as the Kirin or Unsullied). To me, that is much more informative than just the source. They started posting these with some of their knots. They are actually a small shop driven by 4 master craftsmen - Master Carry Master Wang, Master Zihan, and Master Xing. Master Carry seems to be the lead. Every brush I have gotten has been set by one of the 4 so I assume that is their final quality control (each of the four also design the handles). I think they just haven't had the time to update each knot with this information.For Simpsons Super is Equal to what other brands call Silvertip aka the top of the Line.

This looks to me more like a nicely fan shaped knot.For Simpsons Super is Equal to what other brands call Silvertip aka the top of the Line.
